Compensation claims nightmare

By Musyoki Kimanthi

Q: My nephew worked as a lorry turnboy and on December 31, 2006, the lorry overturned and he had both of his legs broken. He stayed in hospital for three months. After his discharge, he was ordered to stay in bed for a further one month. His employer paid the hospital bill and gave my nephew Sh1,000 and that was all. He has never been compensated and all the hospital documents seem to have been taken by his employer. Please advice on the way forward.
